Even though I have linked my PayPal to my main account I can't purchase it via PayPal when I'm on the eshop. I have the South African region as I changed the country on the website. I can only purchase via card or eshop card. No PayPal option

I bought Skyrim in 2011 for $40 odd dollars, played it at 1080p 60fps (something even PS4 Pro and XBOX 1 X can't do) then last year I got a FREE upgrade to the special edition, which I played again at 1440p 100+fps. Console gamers are being butt fucked and you guys are saying "harder massa harder".

On my main account my PayPal is linked. This is confirmed by going in my account settings on the website and when I go to make a purchase on the console. My PayPal is next to the card and eshop credit as payment methods.

When I change my country to South Africa (doing this on the website) and I go back into my account settings on the site the PayPal option has totally disappeared. I go onto the console and proceeed to pay in RAND and again no option of PayPal and it's just card or eshop credit.

It seems any trace of PayPal disappears once I change my country to South Africa even though I have my PayPal linked before I change.

If you've never played Skyrim before, you'll get your money's worth here, trust me. You're pretty much the main target audience for this release, along with "people who want to take a small country's worth of stuff to adventure through on the go".

Yeah, Ive got limited time to game each week so this game could last me a loooong time! Im hoping its a game you can pick up and play in spurts and still enjoy. Will I get lost or forget what to do if I dont play within a few days each time?

All those folk and commuters using their non-pocketable tablets on the train and bus clearly know nothing.

Its size makes it better for portable gaming, not worse, from my experience. I wouldn't want to play the games Switch gets on a smaller screen. The text size in DOOM is already small. Battery life at 3 hours in the low end is actually very good. Most games turn in 4-5 hours at high brightness settings.

It will definitely retain its value for a while. That's what the Switch is though - differentiation by design and the hardware has been able to command a premium price because of it. This has extended to software like Ultra Street Fighter II.

I'm not getting Skyrim, but I did get DOOM, and the price premium over other versions of the game was more than worth it given how amazing it's been to play it anywhere I want.

So I can see the appeal of Skyrim for $60 on Switch even if it's not for me.

Where abouts are you based? I use the Revolut app here in the UK, it's awesome. Top it up with the amount needed, make the payment with the virtual mastercard, transfer any remaining extra credit not spent back into my bank account. Easy!

Doesn't seem to be a Paypal option for me in the SA store either but using Revolut worked like a charm and took all of a few minutes.

Who knew that more reasonable digital pricing meant people would spend alot more and buy things they wouldn't otherwise!!
